Chapter 444 Promotion Begins
The God-given transcendental power and the power of the six pillars that Xia Lin sent into Scarlett's body were all Xia Lin had in reserve.
Xia Lin didn't feel sorry that his hard-earned fortune was spent all at once.
Instead, I feel that it is perfect and just right!
First of all, these six pillars of power are far from enough for Xia Lin - his ambition is very big, so the six pillars of power he needs to be promoted to level 12 is also ridiculously much.
Xia Lin had inquired about such a thing before.
When the great prince Wang Yanshan was promoted to level twelfth, the power of the six pillars he consumed was 35,000 strands, a rather outrageous number.
The cost of the Second Prince's promotion is even higher: about 50,000 strands.
Using more of the power of the six pillars during promotion means stronger combat effectiveness and greater potential after promotion. Xia Lin's current power of the six pillars is only enough to push him to the level of "decent" and "very good", but cannot push him to the level of "strongest" and "most potential".
——If he wants to be promoted, Xia Lin can be promoted after achieving level eleven... After all, he still has a trace of pure cosmic bug in his hand. The reason why he doesn't do it is not for more accumulation and a broader future, right?
But right now, the situation is rather delicate... I don't have enough fighting power.
Scarlett's return fills in the last missing link for Xia Lin.
When the heaven-given transcendent power and the power of the six pillars merged into Scarlett's body, Scarlett's body began to tremble.
Somewhere in the dark, Xia Lin sensed a mysterious aura emanating from Scarlett's body, quickly enveloping the entire place and spreading to other levels of the Heavenly Palace and the realm outside the Heavenly Palace.
——This is a sign that the Dao is about to be achieved!
According to the agreement between Xia Lin and Zhou Xinglin, Xia Lin will loan out the Heavenly Palace for a short period of time, and Chaoxing will promote Scarlett to the twelfth level of the Immortal Lord.
There must be some kind of cave world or treasure on Chaoxing where the flow of time is extremely slow... In short, even though Xia Lin and Scarlett have not been apart for a long time, it is hard to say how many years of hard training Scarlett has gone through - of course, this is not the point.
The point is, Xia Lin and Scarlett are outsiders to the Super Star team after all.
They have the ability to train Scarlett to level 12, but the resources spent on Scarlett will definitely not be too many.
A cosmic bug and dozens of six-pillar powers allowed Scarlett to reach the middle level of level 12 after her promotion, which was roughly equivalent to the level of the five outside, and was enough to deal with Xia Lin.
But the well-behaved Scarlett cannot solve Xia Lin's current predicament.
"I want to fight for the position of Six Pillars. I want to gain more power from the Six Pillars. I want to lay a foundation for the twelve levels that will shock the world. I want to eat at the table in the main universe."
"Right now, I haven't accumulated enough experience, and the opportunity for promotion hasn't arrived yet, but your promotion day has arrived first."
Muttering this, Xia Lin reached out and gently stroked Scarlett's pretty face, saying softly, "The bet has been placed, don't let it go to waste..."
Use all your reserves to fund Scarlett's promotion!
Thinking of the scenery he and Scarlett had seen along the way, Xia Lin's uneasy heart suddenly calmed down.
Because he realized this.
He won't lose anything this time.
How can you expect to suffer any loss when investing in your own servants and women?
As soon as the thought came to her mind, Scarlett suddenly reached out and grabbed Xia Lin's wrist.
The grab was so swift and bizarre that Xia Lin was stunned and stood there.
However, the next second, a dizzying feeling came over him, and Xia Lin felt his consciousness sinking, and instantly fell into a hazy and mysterious space that glowed with a faint golden light.
A pair of soft hands suddenly reached out from behind and embraced Xia Lin.
The familiar fragrance rushed into Xia Lin's nose, and for a moment his mind emptied, enjoying this rare tranquility.
Until Scarlett's voice sounded behind him.
"This is the advancement space, or it can be called the system integration space at level 12."
Having said this, Scarlett let go of her hand, walked to Xia Lin, and took Xia Lin's right hand again. She smiled brightly at first, and then spoke sincerely.
"And I want to leave my future path to you."
With their hands clasped together, Xia Lin obeyed the master-servant relationship and Scarlett's personal will, and he had some kind of realization.
——He obtained the power to help Scarlett integrate the twelve-level system!
A pale golden light suddenly fell from the sky above the promotion space and landed on Scarlett.
This is a divine power of transcendence that is not strong, but not shallow either. It also contains a few strands of divine power of transcendence that Xia Lin had previously injected into Scarlett's body.
Xia Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
After thinking for a moment, he smiled at Scarlett and said, "I don't want to say that you should decide your own path..."
"Because of this wave, you really did the right thing by pulling me in."
…
The first thing that came was a surge in attributes.
This corresponds to one of the Level Twelve Gifts, Infinite Growth.
Scarlett's attributes have actually reached the limit of the Cinder Zone - with the blessing of the Eternal Inscription Replacement System, the Life and Death Battle (Inferior) combined with the Spirit World Book, Xia Lin had already maxed out Scarlett's attributes, and he didn't even need to do anything from the Super Star side.
At this moment, as Scarlett let go of her body and soul, and welcomed the light golden light that descended from the sky, soon the limit of her attributes was broken, and the light of heaven (the power of transcendence bestowed by heaven) merged into Scarlett's body, causing Scarlett's attributes to begin to transform!
"Ten times is the basis."
Experiencing the first wave of baptism upon promotion will increase the basic attributes of the promoted person tenfold!
Considering that those who are eligible for promotion to level eleven have almost reached the attribute limit, it can be regarded as a fixed value.
"And above that foundation is where the gap is widened."
As he spoke this, the light that descended from the sky suddenly changed color.
It changed from light gold to gold and silver.
Scarlett stretched out her hand and drew lines of gold and silver, then turned and smiled at Xia Lin.
"Gold is the power of transcendence bestowed by heaven. I counted... there are seven strands."
"Silver, it's the power of six pillars, that's a lot..."
Xia Lin responded with a smile, "It's 3,286 strands... I remember it clearly."
Scarlett let go of her hand, letting the gold and silver lines float in the air like ribbons, and whispered again.
"Here, the effects of the Heavenly Transcendental Power and the Six Pillars' Power are actually the same. In a sense, the two are of the same nature and power level, so they are indeed quite similar."
Therefore, there is no need to deliberately pursue a single God-given transcendental power - the power of the six pillars is a substitute for the God-given transcendental power.
"And during the infinite growth phase, a ray of the power of the six pillars can help increase attributes and racial values by an additional amount."
"The increase is the limit for professionals."
Converted into numerical values, it is 100y racial value and 100wy four-dimensional attributes.
Simple, fast and efficient.
The more six pillars of power you have, the stronger you are!
"Is it a crude resource-to-combat power converter? The improvement seems quite substantial... equivalent to doubling the power before the promotion, and one-tenth after the promotion."
If you have a lot of power from the six pillars, it is actually worthwhile to spend it on this link.
"But it doesn't mean much to you and me."
Xia Lin has the Life and Death Battle (Inferior) in his hand, and the power of the six pillars is much more precious than the racial value and attributes.
Scarlett nodded obediently, slowly waving away the golden and silver light flickering in the air: "Then forget it, ten times will be enough."
Actually...it's not very good.
After all, theory is theory, reality is reality. The reality is that there are five Level 12 figures waiting for Xia Lin and Scarlett. Even with ten times the base attributes, they can't compare to any of those five people out there—how long have they been at Level 12? Even if they were a pig, their attributes should have reached a certain level...
But Xia Lin weighed the pros and cons carefully and nodded: "Proceed to the next step."
Temporary attributes are also attributes. If the attributes are insufficient, you can make up for it with skills... In short, even if there are five level twelve statues blocking the door in reality, Xia Lin does not want to waste the hard-earned power of the six pillars and damage Scarlett's potential.
What's more, even if more than 3,000 strands of the power of the six pillars were all used to improve attributes, the effect would not be that strong.
As Scarlett waved the gold and silver lines in the air, the lines quickly blurred and mixed into one.
Scattered golden and silver lights slowly seeped into Scarlett's body, causing her to slowly close her eyes and sigh comfortably.
"Heaven-sent transcendence."
The golden and silver power flows inside and outside Scarlett's body, making her radiant, brilliant and gorgeous, and also symbolizing an essential change.
Being a level 12 professional means that one has stepped half a foot out of the professional system and embarked on a new path that is higher, broader and has infinite possibilities.
From then on, he jumped out of the Three Realms and was no longer bound by the Five Elements. He was not restricted by attributes, nor was he constrained by the professional system. And the current link of God-given transcendence was the power of the cosmic consciousness in the dark, which helped the professionals to cross the heavenly barrier.
This is of great significance! In fact, this is the essential difference between level 12 and below.
"But in this area, nothing can make a big difference..."
The additional divine power of transcendence and the power of the six pillars are of no significance in this link.
Because the essence of the twelve levels is the same, the changes are also the same, and no gap can be created here.
Xia Lin nodded in understanding.
It must be said that this experience will be beneficial to Xia Lin's future promotion, and at least it has broadened Xia Lin's horizons.
"And then..."
Xia Lin asked tentatively, and Scarlett responded with a smile.
"It's the final stage of system integration."
Xia Lin chuckled: "Then it will be time for me to exert my strength."
…
In the darkness, there seemed to be a distant sound that went straight into the soul.
This means that system integration has begun.
If infinite growth is laying the foundation of attributes, then system integration is laying the foundation of capabilities!
The strength of the twelfth-level core skills surpasses that of conventional skills. To a certain extent, the level twelfth core skills you obtain in this stage have already determined your future combat style and path to transcendence, and cannot be easily changed.
The God-given power of transcendence and the power of the six pillars play a big role in this link. They can enhance the strength of the level 12 core skills, add additional attribute effects to the level 12 core skills, and even obtain additional level 12 core skills.
And, it can make up for the shortcomings and deficiencies of the original skill set!
In Xia Lin's opinion, the system integration process is a private customization, with the will of the universe acting as the designer, and the additional divine transcendent power and the power of the six pillars are your bargaining chips with the chief designer.
The more chips you have, the stronger and better the customization effect will be.
But all of this is built on the foundation - that is, the original profession and the original skill set.
"My original skill set is too weak..."
Scarlett's biggest weakness actually lies here.
Her skill base is too weak.
To tell you a horrible thing, Scarlett herself has no skills.
It’s not that there are no six-pillar level skills, but that there are no skills!
All her original skills were washed away by Xia Lin... and all along, Scarlett relied on Xia Lin to obtain skills - the Wanbao Maze system is a typical example.
But this is a combat system centered around Xia Lin's pseudo-random substitution.
All of Scarlett's skills rely on Xia Lin and are controlled by Xia Lin.
Therefore, if Scarlett had not pulled Xia Lin into the promotion space, what would have been waiting for Scarlett would probably have been a disaster - the inherent weakness of her skill base would have greatly reduced Scarlett's combat effectiveness and potential.
I'm afraid I really can't compare to the five outside... It's even possible for him to sit at the same table with the Five Kings of the Black Domain.
But when Xia Lin came, Scarlett had a clear sky.
Light flickered from Xia Lin's body, and skill light balls emerged from Xia Lin's body and landed in front of Scarlett.
——In the promotion space, the expression of skills seems to be different, and there is a mysterious feeling of the mind moving at will.
Just like now, Xia Lin clearly used pseudo-random permutation, but it produced such an effect - but this is not important.
There was no rush to operate these skill light balls, Xia Lin spoke slowly.
"First, your own professional talents. Take this opportunity to upgrade them all to the Six Pillars level!"
Among the twelve levels, there is actually no essential difference in judgment between the six-pillar level and the foundation level.
What Xia Lin and Scarlett actually need is this effect: when the skill level is improved, the skill effect will be improved, and there may even be new effects added!
At level 12, judgment is no longer important, and effect is the top priority.
Under normal circumstances, the power of the six pillars cannot increase the level of talent.
But when promoted to level 12, this rule was broken!
As Scarlett thought about it, silver light suddenly emerged.
The 88 strands of six-pillar power in the air instantly penetrated into Scarlett's body, driving the levels of Scarlett's three talents to increase!
88 strands of Six Pillars power, enhancing three talents...
The consumption varies depending on the talent, but Xia Lin didn't see any clear pattern.
In short, the poor are deterred and the rich laugh out loud.
Apart from the six-pillar customization, this is the only channel to obtain six-pillar level talents. You can buy it if you want, and we don’t serve the poor!
This is so real...
Currently, Scarlett's personal information panel is as follows:
Scarlett
[Occupation: Immortal Cultivator]
Level: 12
[Racial value: 100y]
【Four-dimensional attributes: 1000wy】
[Professional Talent 1: Immortal Way. Immortal Venerable (Six-Pillar Level Talent): You have achieved the status of Immortal Venerable and mastered the power of the Dao!
Your racial value increased by: 21.8 billion! Your four-dimensional attributes increased by: 86.4 billion!
You can spend a certain amount of time to enter the state of harmony without any damage, without fear of merging with the Heavenly Dao, and without the danger of becoming a Dao!
After the fusion of Dao, the fusion of Dao domain will be opened. The nature of the fusion of Dao domain depends on the type of your core skills.
As you become more proficient in this state, you will become more efficient in entering and exiting the state of harmony!
Your skill bar is forcibly expanded by 5! 】
Hedao itself is a professional talent, which is reflected in the attribute panel as the Immortal Dao. Immortal Venerable.
And this professional talent is naturally at the racial heritage level.
After being upgraded to the Six Pillars level with the power of the Six Pillars, the effect of this talent is greatly enhanced, and a new entry is obtained: Skill Bar Expansion.
Looking at the effect of this talent, Xia Lin was slightly astonished.
This attribute increase is quite exaggerated... I have to say that the profession of immortal cultivator really has its merits.
[Professional Talent 2: Supreme Time Spiritual Root (Six-Pillar Level Talent): You possess the Supreme Time Spiritual Root, which makes it easier for you to understand the mysteries of time!
The power of your time-based magic and magic weapons has been greatly enhanced!
All your skills naturally come with the power of time.】
"There are no new attributes...it's just an enhancement to the existing ones."
Scarlett briefly described the changes of this talent from the foundation level to the six-pillar level, and Xia Lin nodded in understanding.
"Not bad."
88 strands of six-pillar power may seem like a lot of money, but that's just because Xia Lin is poor... This is a poor person's way of thinking.
The opportunity to upgrade your talents is extremely rare, and no matter how big the cost or how small the change is, it is worth it!
"In fact, talent may be the foundation. Even the power of the six pillars cannot improve talent. I believe that talent is the foundation and lifeblood of us professionals."
This is Xia Lin's guess, but it makes sense.
[Professional Talent 3: Holy Body of Immortal Cultivation Arts (Six-Pillar Level Talent): You are naturally intelligent and clever, and you can learn and master the Immortal Cultivation Arts at once!
Your skills in the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation have been greatly improved, greatly increasing your learning speed in the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation.
"There are new tips. I can choose the entry myself... among the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation, alchemy, weapon forging, and formation..."
"Refine the weapon." Xia Lin made the decision without having to think.
Thus, new attributes are attached.
[Among the hundred arts of immortal cultivation, you are particularly adept at refining weapons! Any material can be transformed into something magical in your hands! Any treasure can be unleashed to unparalleled power in your hands!]
Xia Lin and Scarlett looked at each other and smiled.
This additional attribute alone pays for itself!
"After all, your first set of twelve-level systems must be Lingbao's Wanbao Maze System!"
This is a necessary choice, and it is one that does not require hesitation and will not go wrong.
Because of the Heavenly Palace!
The Wanbao Maze system is actually not very impressive among the twelve levels - if it were really impressive, then the Lingbao would not be at the top of the twelve levels.
The advantage of this system is that it does not depend on attributes, but on the strength of magic weapons.
So, what other magic weapon can compare to the Heavenly Palace, one of the three greatest treasures of the main universe?
No...
Even if the Heavenly Palace in Xia Lin's hands is incomplete and soulless, the size of the Heavenly Palace alone is enough to greatly increase Scarlett's combat effectiveness!
Combined with the Wanbao Maze system, a Heavenly Palace can directly change Scarlett's ecological niche in the twelve levels!
This is not an exaggeration at all and is very reasonable.
[Regular Skill Bar: 0/17]
Looking at the empty skill bar on Scarlett's attribute panel, Xia Lin snapped his fingers, and several skill light balls immediately popped out from Xia Lin's fingertips and merged into Scarlett's body!
Somewhere in the dark, a ray of inspiration emerged in the hearts of Xia Lin and Scarlett.
If converted into a prompt tone, it would probably be:
[Due to the current special circumstances, once you lose a skill, it will disappear forever from your Skill: Shadow's Recipe Book.]
"Are you sure it's forever? What would you do if I used pseudo-random permutation to change it back?"
【……】
[The skills you get back are likely different from the original skills...]
different?
It’s okay to be different!
Because Xia Lin is not level 12, the skills in Xia Lin's hands, even the level 12 core skills directly taken from Lingbao, are degraded versions. Some skills are even directly disassembled by Xia Lin into divine transcendent power.
These skills have to be filtered by Scarlett before they can become level 12 skills again, so of course they are different.
I can only say that this logic is different from the logic of the Heavenly Equation Decomposition skill.
The Heaven's Law Equation was really a complete success, but this one is a bit less interesting and has some bugs.
And Xia Lin loves to find bugs the most.
"Oh, and I have to permanently solidify these skills in Scarlett, making them her own."
It would be very troublesome to achieve this goal in the outside world, but it is not troublesome at all here.
In this place, if you have money and dare to spend money, you are the boss!
But the cost is really not low.
Xia Lin had completely recorded Lingbao's skills - this was the work he had done when he asked the Original Lord to kill Lingbao that day.
It can be said that Xia Lin has a ready-made twelve-level core system that Scarlett can use directly. It doesn't even require system integration and can be used directly.
So there is no expense in this regard at all.
The only expense is the permanent transfer of ownership of the skills.
The promotion space can assist in completing this step, but it consumes more than 100 strands of Six Pillars power from Xia Lin.
But this is a necessary price to pay.
One skill after another appeared on Scarlett's attribute panel, and from this moment on they belonged entirely to Scarlett.
The art of the Ten Thousand Treasures Stars, the art of the Great Sky Weaving, the art of quick treasure refining, the art of void creation, and the tide of mental power.
Among them, the Wanbao Star Compass Technique is the twelfth-level core skill, and the other four skills are components of the Wanbao Maze system.
But this was not enough and could not satisfy Xia Lin.
This is also not the correct way to use system integration when promoted to level 12!
With a snap of his fingers, another five skills were transferred to Scarlett by Xia Lin.
The assembly of spiritual treasures, the unity of man and treasure, the proliferation of heterogeneous structures. Immortals, the art of exchanging heaven with all treasures of Daluo, the treasure house of immortals!
This is the Lingbao Immortal Venerable Lingbao's Lingbao construction system and Lingbao heavenly system!
Ten skills, three systems.
Scarlett was like a resurrected spiritual treasure, and she completely took over the body of the Immortal Lingbao.
All in all, it took more than 300 six pillars of strength, which was only one tenth of the total.
The next second, Xia Lin spoke slowly.
"Now, I need my first system integration."
"I want to use the Tiangong as the foundation and these three skill systems as supplementary tools to create a twelve-level skill system that will allow Scarlett to control the Tiangong as much as possible, unleash its maximum power, defy the rules of skill uniqueness, and retain the characteristics and combat power of these three systems."
Difficult long sentences...
It also reveals Xia Lin's greedy nature.
Theoretically, the skills that Xia Lin gave to Scarlett no longer required system integration - because these were taken from Lingbao, the twelfth-level one, and were the finished products after Lingbao's integration.
Xia Lin, however, wanted to further process the finished product and join Tiangong to create a more advanced system for Scarlett!
What's even more outrageous is that when he was promoted to level 12, the blessings bestowed by the will of the universe could actually meet Xia Lin's requirements.
After all… compared to claims like “I am invincible in the universe” and “I can kill everything”, Xia Lin is really pragmatic…
